I was told that I should be careful, of how I talk. Because if men see that I'm to articulate/smart or too educated they will flee. I was also told not to tell my real age,32,men will see me as too old and run off.
You see I have a problem with the advice mentioned above. Why do I have to base a relationship on lies? If I do follow the advice above, I will be with a man that is not really attracted to the real me. So again living a lie.
Can a smart woman who is well educated and articulate to get a man and be married long term?
The advice above was mentioned to me by a family member...So hearing this repeatedly...I can't help but wonder. Does this mean the only men capable of accepting me are American white men?
Y'all have no idea how discouraging it is to hear the advice above. When I was little girl I was told to study...get an education no matter what. People will respect you. Then I grew up and got an education only to be told men will flee cause I know too much.![Wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](/smilies/wallbash.gif)
